Chapter 44: Officially Returning to the Door
During the five days of menstruation, Chen Xiuyan was responsible for lying, eating, drinking, and sleeping, except for going to Mrs. Yuan for a follow-up visit on the third day, leaving medicine for three days, and drinking a bowl of red bean brown sugar dumplings made by Granny Su, living such an ordinary and comfortable life.
On April 25, early in the morning, Chen Xiuyan took a comfortable hot bath and washed her hair, and the whole person was comfortable.
The thrilling nights of these few nights finally ended, and Luo Wenqian no longer needed to wash the sheets for himself, and the days finally returned to normal.
Simply wringing her hair with a clean cloth towel, Chen Xiuyan went to the kitchen to be busy.
In the past few days, she has been poisoned by Luo Wenqian and Luo Mingqing's craftsmanship, and Chen Xiuyan suddenly found that her achievements in cooking are extraordinary.
Boil a pot of white rice porridge, separated by bamboo steamed slices, evaporated rice cakes, put six eggs on the side, cut two plates of pickles, the family breakfast is completed, and the excess rice cakes can also be brought by Luo Mingchu and Luo Mingnian, and they can be eaten when they are hungry when they are studying.
White rice porridge boiled out of rice oil, brown sugar steamed rice cake soft and sweet, eggs to supplement nutrition, pickles fresh and refreshing, is the day of the return of the Liu family to Luo Wenqian pretended, He produced pickles, the first time the five people of the Luo family eat, direct disc.
After the meal, the whole family went out, first sent the two children to study, and the remaining four went directly to Chenjia Village to make up for the return door.
Liu's has been preparing for the past few days, she knows the day of her daughter's menstruation, and thinks that in these two days, she has already prepared all the ingredients.
Before the Luo family's donkey cart entered Chenjia Village, it was overtaken by a carriage, but it ran out three or four feet away, and the carriage stopped, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a strange and familiar face poked out of it.
Chen Xiuyan recognized it as Chen Man'er, but at this time she had a hint of laziness and charm in the corners of her eyes, her face was painted with delicate makeup, and she was wearing a silver hairpin on her head, which could be seen from the material of the collar and cuffs was made of silk, and even the fingernails of her left hand placed on the edge of the window were dyed red with impatiens, which was very different from the past.
"Chen Xiuyan, this is taking her mother-in-law's family back to her mother's house to fight the autumn wind." Chen Man'er hooked the corners of her lips and looked down at Chen Xiuyan and mocked.
"So you relied on the momentum of the Liu Mansion to return to the village to swagger?" Chen Xiuyan raised her head slightly, and her momentum was even more arrogant than Chen Man'er, which directly made people ignore the height difference between the carriage and the donkey cart itself.
"You are a lot smarter than before, and yes, no matter how you say it, you have been taught by Master Xiucai, and you started teaching before you got married, and now it's not even more powerful."
"Well, you're not bad, how long have you been in the Liu Mansion as a room, and you can chew words when you speak, and you're not a little bit stronger than before." Chen Xiuyan nodded in approval.
"My sister is an aunt now." A face that was seven or eight points similar to Chen Man'er was squeezed over the window, it was Chen Cao'er.
"I've been promoted, so fast, and I'm very capable." Chen Xiuyan said with a smile, "Sure enough, this ruthless person can have a career anywhere." ”
"Eh, it's strange, isn't this Liu Zongbao married to the young lady of the warden's family, and this wife can't take a concubine without even going through the door?" Chen Xiuyan knew a little in her heart, the Wang Mansion was eighty percent of the divorce from the Liu Mansion.
"It won't be your sister who provoked Miss Wang's family, so she quit Liu Zongbao in a fit of anger."
"You talk nonsense, the third son's withdrawal has nothing to do with my sister at all." Chen Cao'er said indignantly.
"It's really quitting, Miss Wang is a great blessing, then Liu Zongbao is not a good bird." Chen Xiuyan didn't plan to deal with the Chen family sisters anymore, "Ming Qing, what are you doing in a daze, let's go." ”
Looking at the rickety donkey cart, Chen Man'er was anxious, and immediately ordered the coachman to overtake the other party and leave.
With the Chen sisters as role models in front, Chen Xiuyan and the others returned home in a very low-key manner.
Liu Shi saw the little girl who combed the woman's head, and her eyes turned red all of a sudden, "You're back, are you in good shape?" ”
The Luo family, except for Luo Wenqian, the two brothers and sisters of Luo Mingqing were embarrassed to turn their faces, and their hearts were empty.
Luo Wenqian and the others were entertained by Chen Dazhong, Chen Muzhu, and Chen Muzhu, while Chen Xiuyan was dragged to the room by Liu to whisper.
"Is Wen Qian good to you?" Liu Shi took the little girl's hand and asked with concern.
"Well, that's good." Chen Xiuyan nodded truthfully.
"What's a good way?" Liu Shi asked carefully, "Your son-in-law really made you lie down for a day?" And ask the mother-in-law next door to take care of you? ”
"More than that." Chen Xiuyan was a little embarrassed and said, "He also boiled the bath water for me, poured the bath water, cooked it and sent it into the house......"
Before Chen Xiuyan finished speaking, Liu Shi had already interrupted happily, "Wen Qian, that kid is so considerate to you, but don't let people pour the bath water in the future, if others see it, they will talk about you." ”
At this time, Chen Xiuyan didn't dare to say that Luo Wenqian also washed her dirty clothes and dirty bed sheets.
"Come with me to your grandfather's house tomorrow? Finally, your three uncles are all at home, and you took advantage of this time to go with Wen Qian to recognize your relatives, but on the day you got married, your grandfather didn't take a good look at Wen Qian and you, and your brother-in-law was not there. Liu said
"yes, okay."
"Then how can Wen Qian be good to you? Did you let your housekeeper do it? Liu then asked.
"Done."
"Then you have to be more careful, and you can't spend as much money as when you were still at home, Wen Qian has to continue to take the exam, and get a lot of money, which is not cheap for scholars." Liu advised, "I heard that the Ning family has to provide a showman, and it will take fifty or sixty taels of silver, let alone lifting people." ”
"Wen Qian is already very money-saving to take the Xiucai exam once, but it is not easy to take the exam, I heard that the Ning family is now an official in the capital, and he also took the exam twice before he was lifted."
"If the money is not in hand, you can come back and say that your father is the most supportive of people to study."
"Got it." Chen Xiuyan was a little moved, which made her daughter and son-in-law come to gnaw at the old, and she was so generous to her cheap father.
Today, Ho's showed his skills and made a table of dinner, braised pork, big bone winter melon soup, sweet and sour fish, fried river shrimp, sauerkraut vermicelli, scrambled eggs with loofah, fried pork slices with cabbage, cold cucumbers, fried tofu, and roast goose.
In addition to white rice, there are also large meat buns.
"This roast goose was ordered by your father in the county yesterday, and your eldest brother just brought it from the Splendid Restaurant, eat more." Liu sandwiched a goose leg for Chen Xiuyan, and the other for Luo Wenqian, and did not forget to clip the thick parts for Luo Mingqing and Luo Mingxin.
"Next time, when you are waiting for the ten-month vacation and field vacation, you will bring Ming Chu and Ming Nian as well." The Liu family was thoughtful, and no one in the Luo family forgot it.
"It's also that we Lin Yun went to school, so I learned that there are still ten-month holidays and field holidays, and we can also have holidays on important festivals, and when we Lin Dong is a few years older, we can go to study with my brother." Ning's family echoed with some joy, since Chen Linyun entered the Ning family, Ning's whole person is different, working at home and embroidering is more active, she wants to make her in-laws' family like it, she wants to save money for her son, and she is also willing to take care of He's concubine; Outside, he is more confident, no longer an empty exaggeration, but because his son no longer talks more.
